Recalls and investigations
Service brakes, hydraulic, foundation components, master cylinderSep 23, 2020
Tenneco Automotive (Tenneco) is recalling certain Beck/Arnley Master Cylinders, part number 072-9831, sold as aftermarket or replacement parts for 2004-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle vehicles. The fluid seal crimp on the master cylinder may be insufficient, causing brake fluid to leak or the cylinder to come apart.
If there is a brake fluid leak, it can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Beck/Arnley will notify the distributors that sold the master cylinders and will work with the distributors to notify the end users. Affected master cylinders will be exchanged for a new master cylinder (part number 072-9990), free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020. Owners may contact Tenneco customer service at 1-800-625-9319.

Electrical system, ignition, anti-theft, control moduleAug 22, 2019
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."
Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall began November 19, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37M2.

Air bags, frontalAug 4, 2015
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Volkswagen CC, and Passat, 2010-2013 Eos, 2011-2014 Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Tiguan, and 2012-2014 Jetta Sportwagen vehicles. In the affected vehicles, debris may contaminate the air bag clock spring, a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the air bag powered while the steering wheel is being turned. This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.
A loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective cover over the steering wheel clock spring if the air bag light is off. If the airbag light is on and the steering wheel clock spring requires replacement, dealers will install a new steering wheel clock spring. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLASHED. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FLASHING INSTRUMENTAL PANEL LIGHTING AND INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2014 JETTA TSI: OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK CAUSES THE FUEL PUMP TO ENGAGE, YOU CAN EVEN HEAR IT. THIS CAUSES FUMES TO ACCUMULATE IN MY GARAGE TO A HIGH LEVEL. THE FUEL PUMP RECALL HAS BEEN DONE PER DEALERSHIP. IMO THE FUEL PUMP SHOULDN'T ENGAGE UNTIL THE KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION. IT IS NOT A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. IT IS A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK. I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH VW AND THEIR OPINION IS THAT "THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS". THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY SINGLE CAR GARAGE AND NOT RUNNING. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASES.

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. LOCKS ON THE "ON" OR "OFF" POSITION.WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IT IS HARD TO TURN IT ON OR OFF BECAUSE IT LOCKS.

CAR CONTINUES TO LEAK, TIRE SENSOR ALWAYS ON DOESN'T GO AWAY, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LEASE TERMS, ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED IS CONSISTENT, WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY. FURTHER, THE SAME OCCURS WITH ANY TURN.

ONE DAY I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A SMALL STREET WITH A SLIGHT HILL. FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS STALLING BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T PRESS ON THE GAS HARD ENOUGH. THE CAR ROLLED SLIGHTLY BACKWARDS UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. I TRIED PRESSING THE GAS HARDER. NEXT THING I KNEW, THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. A COUPLE OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL, BUT THOSE COME ON AND THEN GO OFF OFTEN SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THAT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND AS I SLOWED DOWN WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO QUIT ON ME. I PULLED OVER INTO A BANK PARKING LOT TO STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT IS OFF NOW. I'M WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG OR IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

WE DROVE OUR 2014 V/W JETTA TO GROCERY STORE AND VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN IT WAITING FOR ME TO RETURN NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEGIN FLASHING AND TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. WE CALLED AAA FOR TOWING AND AN EXTRA BATTERY BUT THE BATTER WAS WORKING FINE. ALMOST 2 HOURS LATER WAITING FOR 2ND TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TOW THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED OVER AND WE MANAGED TO DRIVE 2 MILES HOME AND THE CAR STARTED ONE MORE TIME AND HAS NOT TURNED BACK ON SINCE. WE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS IT IS ENGINE PROBLEM AND WE HAVE TO PAY $396 TO PAY FOR REPAIR. WE HAVE HAD THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS AND IT HAS BURNED MY HUSBAND BACK AND NOW IT DOESN'T WORK..... *TR

IN TRAFFIC, THE SINGLE LOW TONE HORN ON THE JETTA IS BARELY AUDIBLE. THE VW DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THE HORN IS STANDARD, AND ACCEPTABLE TO THEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IS A VEHICLE HORN A SAFETY ISSUE? YES. IF THE HORN DOES NOT GIVE OUT SOUND WHICH IS AUDIBLE ON THE ROADWAY, WHAT GOOD IS IT? WHY IS A HORN REQUIRED FOR A VEHICLE INSPECTION STICKER? WHY NOT JUST INSTALL A BICYCLE JINGLE HORN? THERE ARE HORNS THAT ARE LOUD, AFTER MARKET. THE JETTA HORN IS WEAK AND DANGEROUS. PLUS, IT IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD IN A PARKING LOT WHEN LOOKING FOR YOUR VEHICLE, WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR WOMEN AT NIGHT. *TR

2014 VW JETTA SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ENGINE STALLED AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, REDUCING STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY, CREATING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION LIKELY TO INCREASE CHANCES OF A CRASH. ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND GET OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. WAS ABLE TO RESTART, MOVE CAR 10 FEET, AND STALLED AGAIN. RESTARTED AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO POINT OF SALE (DEALER QUIRK VW OF BRAINTREE, MASS). DEALER HAD CAR TWICE, FOR SIX DAYS TOTAL. DEALER SAID THEY WERE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CONDITION, BUT DID NOT FIND A PHYSICAL CAUSE. DEALER SAID THEY DISCOVERED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" WAS AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND APPLIED THE UPDATE. DEALER SAID THE CAR WAS THEN "100 PERCENT" NOT AT RISK OF HAVING THIS ISSUE. TWO WEEKS LATER, ON AUGUST 9TH, CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. CAR WAS TOWED TO SAME DEALER (QUIRK VW) AFTER HOURS. NO NEW ACTION TAKEN YET. I PLAN TO ASK FOR A REFUND. THIS ISSUE HAS PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL AS THAT OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, AND I BELIEVE REPRESENTS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THIS CAR. WITH UNEXPECTED STALLING AND LOSS OF CONTROLS WHILE DRIVING, I AM PUT AT THE MERCY OF OTHER DRIVERS TO AVOID MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY AND AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS, I OR ANOTHER PERSON WON'T BE SO LUCKY. *TR
